chore(release): 2.33.2

macOS saves the download URL in the metadata of the downloaded file.
This means that the downloaded file contains a metadata item with the JWT
token of the user. If the user were to share this file with someone else,
they would have access to their account using the JWT in the metadata
during the validity of the JWT.

The JWT has been removed from the URLs. Since the user is logged in, there
is an authentication cookie set. A JWT in the URL is not necessary.
